Painting pictures with words.
Opening a part of the soul.
Emotion flowing with the lines.
Tapestry skillfully woven.
Reflecting thoughts artfully.
Yearning to make a difference.

Teardrop Child--By Susan Kahil--Spain

Teardrop Child

Each raindrop fell
and grew a child

Into a man who then
rained tears

The sun drew a smile
upon that child

Man blackened out
the window of his heart

The wind whispered
‘love’ into the child’s ear

Man blew it back out
stale breath spelling hate

Rainbows painted
child with happiness

‘Hu(e)man’
discriminated

Earth sucked him
back into her belly

Whilst the child
giggled within

Susan Kahil singer/songwriter/poet is originally from the UK
but has lived in Southern Spain for the past twelve years. In a
secluded mountain valley on her olive, orange and avocado farm surrounded by nature and wildlife is where she gets her
inspiration for poetry and original songs. Some of her recent work can be seen
in the soon to be poets’ anthology, “Dandelion in a Vase” and several publications in magazines. She is
currently working on her first poetry book. Susan likes to look for
the beauty and infinite potential in all things.

Hi, Susan, your lines, inspired by your surroundings are powerful and provoking, well written and my best wishes for your endeavour to publish your poetry book. I had mine published in 2013 -Tagträume/Daydreams/Suenos Diurnos, now out of print. Best of luck, Gert
